hi tweety, no, I've not run for about 3 months , Tigeress started to work nights last year so I was unable to get out in the evenings. And then I picked up a foot injury. So just watching at the mo. It's not as much fun but it's less stressfull, I can let the runners worry about the race before hand. But I do miss the excitment, and buzz you get on race morning.

We had a bit of a mixed day, with baby Asics being car sick twice on the way there. But everything turned out for the best when Jade took the honours for first junior girl home. Ronan, our 9 year old had a good run in the fun run. Hartley Hare was that you leading them around, and a lovely sunny afternoon to finnish off the day. Seemed like a very well organised event.

GM, I think I saw you after the race talking to some others outside the village hall. Hope you had a good race.

I agree with the other comments above - congrats to everyone who competed and thanks to the excellent marshalls and organisers.

This was my first EVER race of any kind.....I've only been doing any kind of running since Jan this year and I found it a lot tougher than I thought it would be. Obvious to say it but treadmills dont do road running justice!

Completed it in 49.20, so I'm well happy with that as a first ever time.....now on to the 2 Castles Race 10k in June.....and more hills no doubt!
